Are you right for Rossi?

Rossi can live with children over the age of 14 but no other pets. He is house trained and can be left alone for up to three hours without worry once he's settled in. Rossi has minor luxation of both patellas that doesn't bother him and has also suffered with bronchitis, which may reoccur.

Is Rossi right for you?

Rossi may not be as fast as his namesake these days but he's still an active boy for his nine years. He is a friendly boy but he just seems to get overwhelmed easily. Rossi is currently in a foster home and seemed to find it unsettling at first but after a few strange days he has settled well and found his confidence. He likes his own bed as his safe space and should be left to himself if he’s in there. Rossi enjoys being outside and is very interactive when off his lead and will often seek a nice scratch from his handler. He lived with other dogs previously and when in kennels he seemed to feed off their stress and become reactive himself, but in his foster home he is much more receptive to their company. Although we still feel he is better suited to being the only dog at home for now, friends would definitely help him. We would love to see him go home to a family that will give him time to trust them and help him continue to build his confidence at his pace. Rossi is a senior gentleman and his behaviours and habits can seem complex at times but he’s just a worried dog who needs someone to guide him.
